12. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health if he is concerned at Health Research Board figures outlining alcohol-related poisoning deaths for 2021, which show that alcohol played a role in the poisoning of 155 people; if he is further concerned that this data represents only 10% of all alcohol-related deaths annually, over 1,500 people, which is about four times the number of people who die from other drug use; and if the new national drugs strategy will definitely address alcohol, or if a stand-alone alcohol strategy is needed.
